10 tried and tested Google Chrome extensions for SEO in 2023
Google Chrome still dominates the browser market share worldwide, with over 63% of users using it across desktop devices as their leading browser of choice. This also makes it the most popular browser among SEO professionals, who have a wide variety of SEO tools, extensions, and plugins installed to help them conduct SEO more efficiently and effectively.
Fun Fact: In June 2023, Chrome’s browser market share dropped to a 7-year all-time low of just above 61%. I believe this has a lot to do with Bing’s positioning as the pioneer in AI search engines, which is powered by GPT-4 integrated into their search results.
Here are some Google Chrome extensions for SEO that I have tried and tested practically for hundreds of hours in my SEO career. I highly recommend checking them out.
1. Detailed SEO Extension
This all-in-one SEO extension for Google Chrome provides SEO-related insights at the click of a button for any website you’re currently visiting. It includes:
- Displaying title tags, meta descriptions, meta robots tags, canonicals, etc.
- Headings, including all H1, H2, H3, etc., and links to robots.txt and sitemaps.xml.
- The ability to download all images.
- The ability to download all links.
- Useful shortcuts in the Advanced tab to external tools/platforms for insights.
My favorite feature is the Schema tab, which allows you to: a) Act as a Schema checker with an easy interface for review (although I wish it could also act as a Schema validator). b) Act as an Hreflang checker/viewer and validator, providing status codes and return tag status for all the hreflangs annotated within the extension and on the same page load.
